How to reduce your baby’s risk of chronic disease by giving their microbiome the best start
During Kristy Wood’s first two pregnancies, she didn’t care much about her babies’ microbiome.
But the difficult start in the life of their second child triggered a shift.
“By my third pregnancy, I definitely made decisions that were influenced by my knowledge of their microbiomes,” says Kristy.
“My second child suffered from food intolerances, allergies and eczema.
“I wanted to give my third child the best chance to avoid this.”
As a loving aunt for Kristy’s children and an infant microbiome researcher, I understand her concerns.
Of course, the causes of allergies are complex, but there is evidence that our microbiome – the community of Trillions of microorganisms that live in each of us – can play a role.
Changes in this community have been linked to several chronic diseases, including obesity, asthma, allergies, and even neuropsychiatric disorders like autism, Parkinson’s, and depression.
The foundations of your microbiome are laid in the first few years of life.
During this time, healthy microbiome development can program life-long health.
So how do we ensure that the microscopic worlds in our children get the best start in life?
1. Feed them breast milk (if you can)
Breast milk contains complex sugars that help establish the most important bacteria in a baby’s intestines.
Unsplash: Dave Clubb
)
Breast milk exposes infants to the mother’s bacteria, some of which sow the infant’s microbiome.
These bacteria, in combination with antibacterial proteins and immune cells, help to safely train the baby’s immune system.
Milk also contains more than 200 oligosaccharides: complex sugars that cannot be digested by humans but serve as food for the baby’s intestinal bacteria.
While we normally think of a diverse microbiome as healthy in adults, the opposite is true in infants.
A healthy gut microbiome in breastfed infants has a relatively simple structure and is dominated by a single genus: bifidobacteria.
Bifidobacteria have been shown to be transmitted from mother to child through milk, and they thrive on oligosaccharides in breast milk.
The health benefits of breastfeeding are many. Breastfeeding can be challenging, however, and not all mothers are able to produce enough milk to meet all of their baby’s needs.
The good news is that plenty of breast milk is good.
When exclusive breastfeeding is an unachievable goal, a mixed diet of breast milk and infant formula can benefit your baby’s microbiome and encourage the growth of healthy bifidobacteria.
Studies have shown that mixed-feeding infants have an intermediate microbiome between that of exclusively breastfed and infant formula-fed infants.
2. Think about getting a dog
Having a pet in the household can boost your children’s immune systems.
Unsplash: Zachary Kadolph
)
When it comes to your baby’s microbiome, it is like any other pet problem: cats are good, but dogs are better.
Research has long shown the health benefits of growing up in a home with furry pets.
Growing up in a household with a cat reduces your risk of developing asthma and allergies by 10 to 30 percent, while those who grew up in a household with a dog see a 20 to 50 percent lower risk.
One of the reasons for this protective effect is your pet’s contribution to the dust microbiome in your home.
We all, including our pets, release bacteria into our environment.
Having a furry pet in the house increases the bacterial diversity in the household microbiome.
When researchers expose mice to dust from homes with dogs, the mice are protected from developing the mouse equivalent of asthma.
This dog dust also changed the microbiome of exposed mice and increased the incidence of Lactobacillus johnsonii, a bacterium that supports mucosal immunity and protects the airways from allergens.
There is no guarantee that your four-legged friend will prevent your baby’s asthma and allergies, and a new pet may not be possible if someone in the family has severe asthma. But weighing the benefits and risks of having a pet could pay off for everyone, including Fido.
3. Avoid unnecessary antibiotics
Talk to your doctor about whether your child needs antibiotics, as these can disrupt intestinal bacteria in the long term.
Unsplash: Freestocks
)
In healthy adults, a course of antibiotics will temporarily unbalance your microbiome, but you will usually recover within 12 months.
In early life, however, our microbiome is much more dynamic and unstable, and disorders such as antibiotics can permanently alter its trajectory.
This early microbiome disruption may explain why children who were given antibiotics in the first few years of life are at greater risk of developing asthma and obesity later in life.
Of course, antibiotics can be life-saving medical interventions and should be used when needed. If you are not sure whether your child needs antibiotics, it is best to talk to your doctor.
4. Sort yourself out early
The fiber in salads doesn’t just nourish you – it’s the food your beneficial gut bacteria need to survive. (
Unsplash: Dan Gold
)
Mothers give a lot to their children: their milk, their uterus, their ability to sleep for more than three hours in a row.
But did you know that mothers are the most common donor of bacteria to their infants in early life?
Hence, it is important that you sort out your own microbiome before the baby is born.
One of the best ways to promote a healthy bacterial community in your gut is with a healthy diet that is high in fiber.
Health in your Instagram feed
Follow @abchealth on Instagram where we debunk myths and share practical, smart health tips.
Continue reading
Fiber is made up of long chains of carbohydrates linked by complex bonds that our own cells are difficult to break down.
This means that most of the fiber reaches our colon undigested, where it can feed our resident intestinal bacteria.
You should also avoid unnecessary antibiotics during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as these temporarily alter your microbiome.
While mothers are the biggest contributors to their baby’s microbiome, everyone who shares the house with the baby contributes. Pregnancy is a good time to introduce the whole family to a healthy, high-fiber diet.
5. Don’t be afraid to get a little dirty
A little dirt can’t hurt … on the contrary, it helps to train your child’s immune system. (
Unsplash: Jelleke Vanooteghem
)
Just as we would like our children to have a range of experiences from a young age, we would like their immune systems to hit a range of bacteria.
The hygiene hypothesis, first made three decades ago, states that microbial exposure in early life protects against asthma and allergies.
Exposure to a wide variety of microbes in the early years of life helps “train” the infant’s immune system, thereby promoting immune tolerance.
While good hand hygiene is still important when it comes to the toilet, you shouldn’t lose sleep with your baby sticking a toy in their mouth.
In fact, babies are pretty good at exposure to the microbial world. As any parent will tell you, they have a knack for tasting the world by mouth.
One last word of warning
It’s important to remember that while each of these factors has been linked to a healthy infant microbiome and reduced risk of chronic disease, they are not the ultimate recipe for a happy, healthy child.
If your baby needs antibiotics or breastfeeding doesn’t work for you, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your child is ill.
Note that the studies in this area are largely associative and that an increased risk does not imply a guarantee of poor health.
The good news is that more research is focusing on microbiome evolution and its impact on lifelong health.
Scientists are now beginning to uncover potential interventions that can help promote healthy microbiomes in infants in hopes of reducing the burden of chronic diseases for the next generation.
As for Kristy, her youngest child, Connor, is turning three and still has no signs of allergies or eczema.
While we can’t know if Connor’s microbiome saved him from health problems, Kristy is relieved and will continue to be a “microbiome-friendly” parent.

African Private Sector Leaders Take the Lead to Rewrite Africa’s Healthcare Narrative With Support From African Heads of State
The Africa Business: Health Forum continues to receive support and endorsement from Heads of States and business leaders across Africa with the event taking place tomorrow, February 12th in Addis Abba, Ethiopia
Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus; Chairperson GAVI, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; and Executive Director, UNAIDS, Michel Sidibe, are some of the eminent personalities confirmed to participate in the high-level dialogue at the first annual African Business: Health Forum.
Heads of States and business leaders will converge to examine opportunities to accelerate economic development and growth of the continent through a healthcare reform agenda that focuses on the well-being of employees for a more active and productive workforce.
The forum will take place on the margins of the 32nd African Union Summit and will unify Africa’s key decision makers in exploring opportunities for catalysing growth in the continent’s economy, through business partnerships to invest in the health sector.
A joint initiative by GBCHealth, Aliko Dangote Foundation and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), AB:HF will explore solutions to Africa’s health challenges with the objective of driving business leadership, strengthening partnerships, and facilitating investments to change the face of healthcare in Africa.
“African leaders now have a stronger sense of urgency to combat the lack of quality health care that Africans endure. The inequality of healthcare available to Africans compared to people in other parts of the globe is vast and unacceptably pervasive. With the cooperation of both the public and private sectors, there is a huge potential to boost health outcomes with significant financial gains,” says Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Co-Chair GBCHealth.
Aliko Dangote, President, Dangote Group and Chairman, Aliko Dangote Foundation, said: “African Business: Health Forum, promises to be a game changer. Our goal is to mobilize private sector capabilities to save millions of lives by focusing on innovation, partnerships, advocacy, and impact investments.”
Key highlights of the forum will include the launch of the African Business Coalition for Health (ABCHealth) and the Healthcare and Economic Growth in Africa Report. The coalition aims to mobilize a core group of private sector champions through a coordinated platform to advance health outcomes and shape health systems across Africa.
Findings from the Healthcare and Economic Growth report highlight a healthcare financing gap of $66 billion, and conversely a prediction of $259 billion economic gain from public private partnership investments in Health, amongst other statistics will also be presented.
Conversations at the forum will centre on the great debate of health as a major economic driver; domestic mobilization of funds for health; and transforming the healthcare landscape with research and innovation.
The AB:HF is being organized by GBCHealth, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), and Aliko Dangote Foundation, with the objective of driving business leadership, strengthening partnerships, and facilitating investments to change the face of healthcare in Africa.
